Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of ProPetro Holding Corp. and its subsidiary (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for annual financial statements. Those adjustments (which consisted of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been made. Results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year due to changes in market conditions and other factors. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC (our "Form 10-K"). Revenue Recognition The Company’s services are sold based upon contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of the principal activities, aggregated into our one reportable segment—"Pressure Pumping," and "all other" category, from which the Company generates its revenue. Pressure Pumping — Pressure pumping consists of downhole pumping services, which includes hydraulic fracturing (inclusive of acidizing services) and cementing. Hydraulic fracturing is a well-stimulation technique intended to optimize hydrocarbon flow paths during the completion phase of shale wellbores. The process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into shale formations. Our hydraulic fracturing contracts with our customers have one performance obligation, which is the contracted total stages, satisfied over time. We recognize revenue over time using a progress output, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price and actual stages completed. We believe that recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed faithfully depicts how our hydraulic fracturing services are transferred to our customers over time. In addition, certain of our hydraulic fracturing equipment is entitled to daily idle fee charges if a customer were to idle committed hydraulic fracturing equipment. The Company recognizes revenue related to idle fee charges on a daily basis as the performance obligations are met. Acidizing, which is part of our hydraulic fracturing operating segment, involves a well-stimulation technique where acid or similar chemicals are injected under pressure into formations to form or expand fissures. Our acidizing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service or sale of the acid or chemical when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize acidizing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation. Our cementing services use pressure pumping equipment to deliver a slurry of liquid cement that is pumped down a well between the casing and the borehole. Our cementing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize cementing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation. The transaction price for each performance obligation for all our pressure pumping services is fixed per our contracts with our customers. All Other — All other consists of coiled tubing operations, which are downhole well completion/remedial services. The performance obligation for these services has a fixed transaction price which is satisfied at a point-in-time upon completion of the service when control is transferred to the customer. Accordingly, we recognize revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the service and transfer of control to the customer. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivables are stated at the amount billed and billable to customers. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued revenue (unbilled receivable) included as part of our accounts receivable wa s $14.1 million a nd $8.6 million, respectively. At June 30, 2021, the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation for our partially completed hydraulic fracturing operations was $26.5 million, which is expected to be completed and recognized within one month following the current period balance sheet date, in our pressure pumping reportable segment. Allowance for Credit Losses As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $0.1 million allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses is based on the evaluation of both our historic collection experience and the expected impact of any potential deteriorating economic conditions for the oil and gas industry. We evaluated the historic loss experience on our accounts receivable and also considered separately customers with receivable balances that may be negatively impacted by current economic developments and market conditions. While the Company has not experienced significant credit losses in the past and has not yet seen material changes to the payment patterns of its customers, the Company cannot predict with any certainty the degree to which the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the potential impact of periodically adjusted borrowing base limits, level of hedged production, or unforeseen well shut-downs may affect the ability of its customers to timely pay receivables when due. Accordingly, in future periods, the Company may revise its estimates of expected credit losses. The table below shows a summary of allowance for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2021: (in thousands) Balance - January 1, 2021 $ 1,497 Provision for credit losses during the period 140 Write-off during the period (1,497) Balance - June 30, 2021 $ 140

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021 In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this guidance and the adoption did not materially affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in 2021 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform , which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. This guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the LIBOR transition and this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurement Fair value ("FV") is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches and establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used, when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows: Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 — Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities, and long-term debt (if any). The estimated fair value of our financial instruments at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, approximated or equaled their carrying values as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis In the first quarter of 2020, the negative future near-term outlook resulting from the continued idling of our Permian drilling assets and current market prices were indicative of potential impairment, resulting in the Company comparing the carrying value of the Permian drilling assets with its estimated fair value. In the first quarter of 2020, we determined that the carrying value of the Permian drilling assets was greater than its estimated fair value. Accordingly, impairment expense of $1.1 million was recorded for our Permian drilling assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020. There was no impairment of assets during the six months ended June 30, 2021. In 2019, the Company entered an agreement with its equipment manufacturer granting the Company the option to purchase additional 108,000 hydraulic horsepower ("HHP") of DuraStim® equipment, with the purchase option expiring at different times throu gh July 31, 2022, as amended. The option fee of $6.1 million, classified as a deposit for property and equipment as part of our pressure pumping reportable segment, was fully impaired and written off in the first quarter of 2020 because it was not probable that the Company will exercise the option to purchase the equipment given the then current depressed crude oil prices and other market conditions that have resulted in a decline in the demand for our hydraulic fracturing services. The total non-cash property and equipment impairment charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 in our hydraulic fracturing and drilling segments w as $0 and $7.2 million , respectively. We generally apply fair value techniques to our reporting units on a nonrecurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment loss related to goodwill. Our estimate of the reporting unit fair value is based on a combination of income and market approaches, Level 1 and 3, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. The income approach involves the use of a discounted cash flow method, with the cash flow projections discounted at an appropriate discount rate. The market approach involves the use of comparable public companies' market multiples in estimating the fair value. Significant assumptions include projected revenue growth, capital expenditures, utilization, gross margins, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and weight allocation between income and market approaches. If the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, we consider goodwill impaired, and the impairment loss is calculated and recorded in the period. There were no additions to, or disposals of, goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2021. In the first quarter of 2020, the depressed crude oil prices and crude oil storage challenges faced in the U.S. oil and gas industry triggered the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test, and as a result, we compared the carrying value of the goodwill in our hydraulic fracturing reporting unit with the estimated fair value. Our impairment test also considered other relevant factors, including market capitalization and market participants' view of the oil and gas industry in reaching our conclusion that that carrying value of our goodwill in our pressure pumping reportable segment of $9.4 million was fully impaired during the first quarter of 2020. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 , we recorded goodwill impairment of approximately $9.4 million.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt	Long-Term Debt Asset-Based Loan ("ABL") Credit Facility Our revolving credit facility ("ABL Credit Facility"), as amended, has a total borrowing capacity of $300 million (subject to the Borrowing Base limit), with a maturity date of December 19, 2023. The ABL Credit Facility has a borrowing base of 85% of monthly eligible accounts receivable less customary reserves (the "Borrowing Base"), as redetermined monthly. The Borrowing Base as of June 30, 2021, was approximately $71.8 million. The ABL Credit Facility includes a Springing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to apply when excess availability is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the facility size or the Borrowing Base or (ii) $22.5 million. Under this facility we are required to comply, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants pertaining to our ability to incur liens, indebtedness, changes in the nature of our business, mergers and other fundamental changes, disposal of assets, investments and restricted payments, amendments to our organizational documents or accounting policies, prepayments of certain debt, dividends, transactions with affiliates, and certain other activities. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all assets of the Company. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility accrue interest based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to availability, and we may elect for loans to be based on either LIBOR or base rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.25% for base rate loans, with a LIBOR floor of zero. The loan origination costs relating to the ABL Credit Facility are classified as an asset in our balance sheet. There were no borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Reportable Segment Information	Reportable Segment Information The Company has three operating segments for which discrete financial information is readily available: hydraulic fracturing (inclusive of acidizing), cementing and coiled tubing. These operating segments represent how the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates performance and allocates resources. In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280— Segment Reporting , the Company has one reportable segment (pressure pumping) comprised of the hydraulic fracturing and cementing operating segments. The coiled tubing operating segment and corporate administrative expense (inclusive of our total income tax expense (benefit), other (income) and expense and interest expense) are included in the "all other" category in the table below. Total corporate administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, was $6.5 million and $11.6 million , respectively. The corporate administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was $10.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively. Our hydraulic fracturing operating segment revenue approxima ted 93.7% and 93.5% o f our pressure pumping revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our hydraulic fracturing operating segment revenue approximated 89.7% and 93.7% of our pressure pumping revenue, respectively. Inter-segment revenues are not material and are not shown separately in the table below. The Company manages and assesses the performance of the reportable segment by its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before other income (expense), interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, severance and related expense, impairment expense, (gain)/loss on disposal of assets and other unusual or nonrecurring expenses or (income)).

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss relevant to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share uses the same net loss divided by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus dilutive effects of options, performance and restricted stock units outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury method and the potential dilutive effects of preferred stocks (if any) calculated using the if-converted method. The table below shows the calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, (in thousands, except for per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Numerator (both basic and diluted) Net loss relevant to common stockholders $ (8,511) $ (25,920) Denominator Denominator for basic loss per share 102,398 100,821 Dilutive effect of stock options — — Dilutive effect of performance share units — — Dilutive effect of restricted stock units — — Denominator for diluted loss per share 102,398 100,821 Basic loss per share $ (0.08) $ (0.26) Diluted loss per share $ (0.08) $ (0.26) Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Numerator (both basic and diluted) Net loss relevant to common stockholders $ (28,886) $ (33,724) Denominator Denominator for basic loss per share 101,976 100,754 Dilutive effect of stock options — — Dilutive effect of performance share units — — Dilutive effect of restricted stock units — — Denominator for diluted loss per share 101,976 100,754 Basic loss per share $ (0.28) $ (0.33) Diluted loss per share $ (0.28) $ (0.33) As shown in the table below, the following stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 because they will be anti-dilutive to the calculation of diluted net loss per common share: (In thousands) 2021 2020 Stock options 995 4,224 Restricted stock units 1,380 1,269 Performance stock units 1,489 1,051 Total 3,864 6,544

Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Stock Options There were no new stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate intrinsic value for our outstanding stock options was $3.0 million, and the aggregate intrinsic value for our exercisable stock options was $3.0 million. The aggregate intrinsic value for the exercised stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $18.7 million. The remaining exercise period for both the outstanding and exercisable stock options as of June 30, 2021 was 4.1 years. A summary of the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is presented below: Number of Shares Weighted Outstanding at January 1, 2021 4,200,341 $ 4.82 Granted — $ — Exercised (3,128,798) $ 3.39 Forfeited — $ 14.00 Expired (76,306) $ 14.00 Outstanding at June 30, 2021 995,237 $ 8.61 Exercisable at June 30, 2021 995,237 $ 8.61 Restricted Stock Units During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we granted a total of 787,287 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, officers and directors pursuant to the ProPetro Holding Corp. 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2020 Incentive Plan"), which generally vest ratably over a three-year vesting period, in the case of awards to employees and officers, and generally vest in full after one year, in the case of awards to directors. RSUs are subject to restrictions on transfer and are generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases to be an employee or director of the Company prior to vesting of the award. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing share price of our common stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation expense for all RSUs was approximately $9.8 million , and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years. The following table summarizes RSUs activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021: Number of Weighted Outstanding at January 1, 2021 1,165,369 $ 8.50 Granted 787,287 $ 9.85 Vested (570,428) $ 8.58 Forfeited (2,037) $ 10.96 Canceled — $ — Outstanding at June 30, 2021 1,380,191 $ 9.23 Performance Share Units During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we granted 553,876 performance share units ("PSUs") to certain key employees and officers as new awards under the 2020 Incentive Plan. The actual number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the PSUs ranges from 0% up to a maximum of 200% of the target number of PSUs granted to the participant, based on our total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a designated peer group, generally at the end of a three year period. In addition to the TSR conditions, vesting of the PSUs is generally subject to the recipient’s continued employment through the end of the applicable performance period. Compensation expense is recorded ratably over the corresponding requisite service period. The grant date fair value of PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo probability model. Grant recipients do not have any shareholder rights until performance relative to the peer group has been determined following the completion of the performance period and shares have been issued. The following table summarizes information about PSUs activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021: Period Target Shares Outstanding at January 1, 2021 Target Target Shares Vested Target Target Shares Outstanding at June 30, 2021 Weighted 2018 84,322 — (84,322) — — $ 27.51 2019 126,318 — — — 126,318 $ 27.49 2020 808,638 — — — 808,638 $ 8.30 2021 — 553,876 — — 553,876 $ 15.37 Total 1,019,278 553,876 (84,322) — 1,488,832 $ 12.56 Weighted Average FV Per Share $ 12.27 $ 15.37 $ 27.51 $ — $ 12.56 The total stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 for all stock awards was $5.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases Operating Leases Description of Lease In March 2013, we entered into a ten year real estate lease contract (the "Real Estate Lease") with a commencement date of April 1, 2013, as part of the expansion of our equipment yard. The lease is with an entity in which a former director of the Company has a noncontrolling equity ownership interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company made lease payments of approximatel y $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The assets and liabilities under this contract are equally allocated between our cementing and coiled tubing segments. In addition to the contractual lease period, the contract includes an optional renewal of up to ten years, and in management's judgment the exercise of the renewal option is not reasonably assured. The contract does not include a residual value guarantee, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Real Estate Lease does not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change. Effective January 1, 2019, the remaining lease term in our present value estimate of the minimum future lease payments was four years. We accounted for our Real Estate Lease to be an operating lease. Our assumptions resulted from the existence of the right to control the use of the assets throughout the lease term. We did not account for the land separately from the building of the real estate lease because we concluded that the accounting effect was insignificant. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted average discount rate and remaining lease term was 6.7% and 1.8 years , respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the total operating lease right-of-use asset cost was approximately $1.2 million, and accumulated amortization was approximately $0.7 million. As of December 31, 2020, our total operating lease right-of-use asset cost was approximately $1.2 million, and accumulated amortization was $0.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded operating lease cost of approximatel y $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in our statement of operations. Finance Leases Description of Ground Lease In 2018, we entered into a ten year land lease contract (the "Ground Lease") with an exclusive option to purchase the land exercisable beginning one year from the commencement date of October 1, 2018 through the end of the contractual lease term. In March 2020, the Company exercised its option and purchased the land associated with the Ground Lease for approximately $2.5 million. Maturity Analysis of Lease Liabilities The maturity analysis of liabilities and reconciliation to undiscounted and discounted remaining future lease payments for our operating lease as of June 30, 2021 are as follows: ($ in thousands) Totals 2021 $ 190 2022 389 2023 98 Total undiscounted future lease payments 677 Less: amount representing interest (40) Present value of future lease payments (lease obligation) $ 637 The total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of our operating lease liability during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximatel y $0.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of our operating and finance lease liabilities was approximately $0.2 million and $0.03 million, respectively. Short-Term Leases We elected the practical expedient, consistent with ASC 842, to exclude leases with an initial term of twelve months or less ("short-term lease") from our balance sheet and continue to record short-term leases as a period expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 our short-term lease expense was approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Commitments We entered into certain commitments for fixed assets, consumables and services incidental to the ordinary conduct of our business, generally for quantities required for our businesses and at competitive market prices. These commitments are designed to assure sources of supply and are not expected to be in excess of normal requirements. As of June 30, 2021, the total outstanding contractual commitments entered into as part of normal course of business for supply of certain equipment and other assets was approximately $1.6 million . At June 30, 2021, the total remaining lease commitments for all of our short-term leases and lodging commitments was approximately $4.9 million. The Company enters into purchase agreements with its sand suppliers (the "Sand Suppliers") to secure supply of sand as part of its normal course of business. The agreements with the Sand Suppliers require that the Company purchase a minimum volume of sand, based primarily on a certain percentage of our sand requirements from our customers or in certain situations based on predetermined fixed minimum volumes, otherwise certain penalties (shortfall fees) may be charged. The shortfall fee represents liquidated damages and is based on a fixed price per ton of unpurchased volumes. Our agreements with the Sand Suppliers expire at different times prior to December 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no shortfall fee was recorded. However, one of our Sand Suppliers has filed a suit against us that includes claims related to alleged shortfall fees. The suit is in the early stages, and we are contesting the claims. While we cannot reasonably estimate the outcome of the matter at this time, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of the action will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company. One of the Sand Suppliers (“SandCo”) we entered into an agreement with to purchase sand ("Texas Sand") has an indirect relationship with a former executive officer of the Company, because beginning in 2018, the Texas Sand was sourced from a mine located on land owned by an entity in which the former executive officer of the Company has a 44% noncontrolling equity interest. The total sand purchased from SandCo during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the period the former executive was associated with the Company) was approximately $5.3 million. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had issued letters of credit of approximately $3.7 million under the ABL Credit Facility in connection with the Company’s casualty insurance policy. Contingent Liabilities In September 2019, a complaint, captioned Richard Logan, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiff, v. ProPetro Holding Corp., et al., (the "Logan Lawsuit"), was filed against the Company and certain of its then current and former officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. In July 2020, the Logan Lawsuit Lead Plaintiffs Nykredit Portefølje Administration A/S, Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System, Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System, Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System, and Oklahoma City Employee Retirement System, and additional named plaintiff Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit, individually and on behalf of a putative class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between March 17, 2017 and March 13, 2020, filed a third amended class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and Rule l0b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on allegedly inaccurate or misleading statements, or omissions of material facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects against the Company, certain former officers and current and former directors. In August 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Logan Lawsuit and in September 2020, the plaintiffs filed their opposition. In October 2020, the Company filed its reply brief in support of the motion to dismiss. In May 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas consolidated two shareholder derivative lawsuits previously filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors into a single lawsuit captioned In re ProPetro Holding Corp. Derivative Litigation (the "Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit"). In August 2020, the plaintiffs in the Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit filed a consolidated complaint alleging (i) breaches of fiduciary duties, (ii) unjust enrichment and (iii) contribution. The plaintiffs did not quantify any alleged damages in their complaint but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, they seek various forms of relief, including (i) damages sustained by the Company as a result of the alleged misconduct, (ii) punitive damages and (iii) equitable relief in the form of improvements to the Company’s governance and controls. In October 2020, the Company and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit and in December 2020, the plaintiffs filed their opposition. In January 2021, the Company and other defendants filed reply briefs in support of the motions to dismiss. In October 2019, the Company received a letter from the SEC indicating that the SEC had opened an investigation into the Company, which followed the SEC’s issuance of a formal order of investigation, and requesting that the Company provide certain information and documents, including documents related to the Company's expanded audit committee review and related events. The Company has cooperated and expects to continue to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation. We are presently unable to predict the duration, scope or result of the Logan Lawsuit, the Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit, the SEC investigation, or any other related lawsuit or investigation. As of June 30, 2021, no provision was made by the Company in connection with these pending lawsuits and the SEC investigation as the final outcome cannot be reasonably estimated. Environmental The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. The Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of the Company's business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification. Regulatory Audits In 2020, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts commenced a routine audit of the Company's motor vehicle and other related fuel taxes for the periods of July 2015 through December 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the audit is still at an early stage and the final outcome cannot be reasonably estimated. In 2021, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts completed a routine audit of gross receipts, and sales, excise and use taxes for the periods of July 2015 through December 2018. The net refund to the Company from the sales and excise and use tax audit was approximately $2.1 million, which was recorded as part of other income in our statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation          The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of ProPetro Holding Corp. and its subsidiary (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for annual financial statements. Those adjustments (which consisted of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been made. Results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year due to changes in market conditions and other factors. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC (our "Form 10-K").
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company’s services are sold based upon contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of the principal activities, aggregated into our one reportable segment—"Pressure Pumping," and "all other" category, from which the Company generates its revenue. Pressure Pumping — Pressure pumping consists of downhole pumping services, which includes hydraulic fracturing (inclusive of acidizing services) and cementing. Hydraulic fracturing is a well-stimulation technique intended to optimize hydrocarbon flow paths during the completion phase of shale wellbores. The process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into shale formations. Our hydraulic fracturing contracts with our customers have one performance obligation, which is the contracted total stages, satisfied over time. We recognize revenue over time using a progress output, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price and actual stages completed. We believe that recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed faithfully depicts how our hydraulic fracturing services are transferred to our customers over time. In addition, certain of our hydraulic fracturing equipment is entitled to daily idle fee charges if a customer were to idle committed hydraulic fracturing equipment. The Company recognizes revenue related to idle fee charges on a daily basis as the performance obligations are met. Acidizing, which is part of our hydraulic fracturing operating segment, involves a well-stimulation technique where acid or similar chemicals are injected under pressure into formations to form or expand fissures. Our acidizing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service or sale of the acid or chemical when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize acidizing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation. Our cementing services use pressure pumping equipment to deliver a slurry of liquid cement that is pumped down a well between the casing and the borehole. Our cementing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize cementing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation. The transaction price for each performance obligation for all our pressure pumping services is fixed per our contracts with our customers. All Other
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable          Accounts receivables are stated at the amount billed and billable to customers.
Allowance for Credit Losses	Allowance for Credit Losses As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $0.1 million allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses is based on the evaluation of both our historic collection experience and the expected impact of any potential deteriorating economic conditions for the oil and gas industry. We evaluated the historic loss experience on our accounts receivable and also considered separately customers with receivable balances that may be negatively impacted by current economic developments and market conditions. While the Company has not experienced significant credit losses in the past and has not yet seen material changes to the payment patterns of its customers, the Company cannot predict with any certainty the degree to which the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the potential impact of periodically adjusted borrowing base limits, level of hedged production, or unforeseen well shut-downs may affect the ability of its customers to timely pay receivables when due. Accordingly, in future periods, the Company may revise its estimates of expected credit losses.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021 In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this guidance and the adoption did not materially affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in 2021 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform , which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. This guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the LIBOR transition and this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurement Fair value ("FV") is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches and establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used, when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows: Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 — Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities, and long-term debt (if any). The estimated fair value of our financial instruments at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, approximated or equaled their carrying values as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
